Trainer Dan or any one else who can lead me in the right direction.....I have a few questions but first let me give you my current situation in life so you can better assess my situation.

I am a 29 year old female. On January 3rd,2002 I figured it was time to try to "go for the gold" and get into shape for the first time in a long time. I decided to with the Dr. Atkins diet program. At any rate, I dropped 16 pounds to be exact and I am very excited. I also used cardio (treadmill) for 4-5 days a week

Now, I feel that I need to change my diet due to the fact that I have joined a health club. Also my fiance' insist that I need something to shock my body again, because he feels its at a stand still and used to a very low carb approach.

So I decided to try CKD ! Now my questions :

1) Since I am totally used to Atkins and low carb approach I have no problems with the M-F game plan. Its almost the same thing I have endured for 2 1/2 months. The thing that throws me off is - how long do I go into carb up mode for? Does this start Friday night after my last weight training session for the week?

2) Please give me exact descriptions of EXACTLY what you have eaten in CARB UP. It says hi-carb, medium protein and low fat. Does that throw all the goodies out the window and leave you with pasta and potatoes only? LOL And what can you have on the pasta and potatoes...hopefully their is some decent cheat foods I can have...please inform me though!

3) I plan to go heavy on M-W at the gym and do a high intensity superset circuit for the whole body on Friday. Does that sound correct? I also will do the treadmill on M-F every day upon wakening.


Thats all I can think of now...I am sure I will come back with more questions but thanks in advance.
